Next Year’s Exam Students

[LouiseNW]

Extremely concerned for next year’s exam students. If you are too, you may be interested in this petition. Never had a great deal of faith in petitions but this Government does seem to be particularly susceptible to public pressure.

No professional interest. Mum of second year A level student, about to go back with more “blended learning”.

Have a good day.

Was interested till I saw the
"Ministers showed a lack of trust in teachers and leaders, "
Yeah, not so sure I trust our school's teachers' assessments

Fair enough.
FWIW, atm it’s likely that next year’s cohort will be sitting exam as usual, no teacher predicted grades. How they’re supposed to catch up on 4 1/2 months of missed work (yes, some have been able to continue at home, many haven’t: its far from a level playing field), not sure.
The current year’s students had at least completed their courses, in the main. With the U-turn, many have done significantly better than they would have, had they been examined. That’s what next year’s will be up against.
The issue needs to be raised and planned for now.
